ference following an audience with Pope Paul VI and a meeting with Dr. Jarring who recently returned from talks/with African leaders on the Middle East problem. Waidheim, said the latest news regarding an interim Suez agreement is far from encouraging.-He said it was most probable that an in¬ terim accord would not become effective. The reason for its probable failure, he said, was that one of the parties (Israel) pre¬ fers American mediation which is connected with an arms deal while .the - other
party pr.efe^s UN mediation. "We shall insist on having United Nations mediation through the UN mediator, Dr. Jarring, and on- reen- forcingthis mediation which is the only possibility for a peaceful solution," he said. Questioned about the escalating arms raqe in the Mideast, Waldhejrn^stressed

The petition urges the President to take advantage of his meeting in May with Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin and Communist. Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev to "help redeem Soviet Jews, thus fulfilling the hopes "of millions of Americans who have labored on their behalf." It declares:
"We respectfully petition you on behalf of three million Soviet Jews. We urge you to be their advocate and to convey to Soviet leaders the concern of millions of Americans, and people of good will everywhere, over an oppressed minority which faces discrimination, and is pre vented from perpetuating its history, its culture and its ancient heritage.

Hillel Officials Attend Funeral For Rabbi Gaynor
Dispute Future Of Jewish Culture In Soviet Union
JERUSALEM (JTA)-The thesis that Jewish culture in the Soviet Union is irretrievably doomed and must be given up for lost was disputed at a gathering of Israeli scholars and in¬ tellectuals, many of them recent immigrants, here: The gathering was ad¬ dressed by Prof.. Mikhail- Zand,, a prominent Orien- tologist at Moscow's In¬ stitute of Eastern Studies, . who emigrated to Israel*with his family last year after a prolonged struggle to obtain
- an exit visa.
Zand, currently teaching at the Hebrew University, maintained that Jewish culture in the USSR has no
- future and that in fact most of it has already been destroyed by the Soviet State. He said that Jewish.
culture was being spread through the medium of the Hebrew- language using underground channels - but predicted that this too will end and the. writers will wind up in jail or go to Israel.
Prof. Chohe Shmerook, head of -the ' Hebrew University's Yiddish department; took issue -with Zln'd:'s g 1 06 my prognostication. He said that what Zand was advocating was very grave because it gives up for lost millions of Russian Jews who will remain in Russia. "No one thinks of abandoning the Jews in the West who are not emigrating, and for the same reason Jews who remain ih Russia should' not be the victims of discrimination and their cultural life must
